The Tax
Committee of the Republic of Uzbekistan held a meeting with a delegation from
the Republic of Angola to exchange experience in the field of digital marking
and traceability of goods.
The Uzbek
side presented the results of the phased and well‑thought‑out implementation of the “Asl Belgisi” system, highlighting the key advantages of the national model, which
sets it apart from similar systems in other countries: thorough testing of
solutions through pilot projects even before the introduction of mandatory
labeling, full integration with electronic invoices, online cash registers and
state information systems, as well as end‑to‑end traceability of product movement — from the manufacturer or importer to
the final consumer.
It is
precisely this deep integration that constitutes the main value of the Uzbek
approach: the system makes it possible to automatically identify gaps in
commodity chains and risky transactions, significantly improve the efficiency
of tax administration, protect consumers’ rights, support business, and consistently
reduce shadow turnover. This comprehensive result — from the fiscal effect to
consumer protection — makes Uzbekistan’s experience a sought‑after benchmark for other countries.
Representatives
of Angola, in turn, acquainted the Uzbek side with the national PROSEFA program
(Programa Nacional de Selos Fiscais de Alta Segurança), under which the country
applies labeling of alcoholic and tobacco products. The Angolan colleagues
showed particular interest in what the Uzbek model is best at — the
experience of integrating labeling with digital tax administration systems and
automated control mechanisms.
The parties
discussed further opportunities for exchanging experience and developing
practical cooperation in this area.
It is
noteworthy that the meeting with the Angolan delegation is far from being the
first such visit: previously, Uzbekistan’s experience in the field of digital
marking was presented to specialists from Egypt, Russia, Belarus, Kazakhstan,
Armenia, Kyrgyzstan, and Tajikistan.
This
geographical scope of interest — from Africa to
Eurasia — clearly confirms that the “Asl Belgisi” system, developed
by the Tax Committee together with the national operator “CRPT Turon,” has
become one of the recognized and sought‑after models of digital product traceability at the international level.
